Palawan red tailed tree squirrel

We have a few of these resident tree squirrels in our bamboo grove which our deck faces. They do quite a bit racket in the mornings. They aren't that big and normally very skittish about being seen. But on this day, something had gotten into their nest. These squirrels were born in that grove and are still teenagers I believe. Below is a video of one of them. Scroll down to view a video of one of them carrying on and flicking it's tail.

We drove from Puerto Princesa to The Beach Shack, in Corong Corong in El Nido, Palawan, for the fist time and it was such an enjoyable drive. It took about 5 hours from our place in Luzviminda, Palawan.

If you are a tourist, you fly into Puerto Princesa, and can hire a van (quite expensive unless you share) or take a commercial RoRo bus, in which case it can range between 650. to 850. php. The Barangay of Corong Corong is just outside the city of El Nido.
We got to the Beach Shack and the views took my breath away. The views of the karst limestone islands were truly spectacular from anywhere in this cove. The Maremegmeg Beach, where we stayed in the cove was so clean and the sand was baby powder fine.

Heading south on the National Highway from Puerto Princesa City, you can take a van or motorbike to Estrella River Waterfalls for a day jaunt. The trip from Puerto city center is approximately 2 1/2 hours one way. But if you bring everything you need to enjoy the rest, relaxing and swimming activities a couple of hours at this river and waterfalls will certainly invigorate you on a hot summer day. You can hire a van with a driver for approximately 3500.00 per day and a van is capable of traversing the roads. Stick to summer as the roads will be muddy during rainy season, and the waters would be too cold to swim in unless you are from Alaska! If you don't like crowds. Do not go on a weekend!!

If you head there early, on the way to the waterfalls you might have time to take in the usual city tour of Bakers Hill, Butterfly gardens, Irawan Eco park Zip line and the Crocodile Farm and Nature Conservancy as well as further up the road where the historic Iwahig Penal Colony where you ca…

UPDATE: June 2015This place has been leased out to a developer who has been known to ruin things, like the did to Puka beach in Boracay. I am protesting this...please visit my blog about it.Save Turtle Bay!

UPDATE: August 2014
As of now this place has closed to the general public. But is open for special events.

One of our favorite places to go to relax, swim, snorkel or have lunch is Kamia Bay Resort. Mainly because it's only 6 minutes away from our home via banca, or 9 minutes by car.

Being only about 45 minutes from Puerto Princesa city Center, it presents a very nice day trip without sacrificing 3 hours round trip to swim, snorkel or scuba dive as going to Sabang will take. Hotel Centro in town can book packages if you are a group or you can just toodle down National …
